COPI is a replacement for the standard DOS COPY command.
Its useage is the same (I hope), allowing the same wild cards,
and defaults.
COPI is intended to improve on the standard copy by
checking the destination and if there is not enough room in
the destination, allow you to modify the list of files
selected by the source specification or to remove files from
the destination to create room for the copied files.
If there is enough space on the destination, there should
be little difference between the DOS COPY and this COPI. If
there isn't room on the destination, you will be presented
with a menu of options.
The first option on the menu is "Edit Source List". If
you select this option, you can delete files seleted by your
source specification from the to be copied list. For example,
if you enter "COPI *.* A:" the list of files to be copied will
include every file on your default path. Selecting "Edit
Source List" allows you to view a list of all files selected
and delete from that list (not from disk) files you may not
care to copy.
The second option is "Destination Disk Management". This
option will allow you to view a list of files of the
destination path and delete those files from disk (careful
with this).
The third option, "Enable Multiple Disk Destination",
allows the copy to request fresh diskettes on the destination
drive when the current diskette will not hold the next file to
be copied. It will not split a file between diskettes and
is only allowed for drives A: and B:.
The fourth option, "Try Copy", will look at the disk
requirements of the copy, and if there is enough space on the
destination, proceed with the copy. If there is not enough
space on the destination, the menu of options will be
redisplayed.
The fifth and final option, aborts the copy without doing
anything, returning you to DOS.

This version of the software has been tested by me for
all the variations I ever use of COPY. If you find a bug,
please let me know at the above address. If you think you
have found a bug, please try the same options with the DOS
COPY and be sure that it works there.
I am available for contract programming work. If you
need some custom programs for your system, please write to the
